c++ - 在 C++ 中使用 boost 与可执行文件交互

Question

我正在尝试将我正在编写的程序与stockfishC++ 中现有的国际象棋引擎 () 连接起来。为此，我正在使用 Boost，但遇到了流程问题。engine.exe是我试图与之交互的可执行文件，但它似乎在uci. 当程序到达第二个 while 循环时，sf.running()即使它从未终止，也会返回 false。

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <boost/process.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

using namespace std;

namespace bp = boost::process;

int main()
{
    boost::filesystem::path sfPath{ R"(engine.exe)" };
    
    bp::ipstream is;
    bp::opstream os;
    bp::child sf(sfPath, "uci", bp::std_out > is, bp::std_in < os);

    string line;
    getline(is, line);
    cout << line << endl;

    while(sf.running()) {
        getline(is, line);
        cout << line << endl;
    }

    os << "position startpos moves d2d4 g8f6 g1f3\n";

    os << "go\n";

    while (sf.running()) {
        getline(is, line);
        cout << line << endl;
    }
}

通过在我的机器上使用 stockfish 8 进行快速测试，在 CLI 上提供命令（如您的"uci"）会导致它被执行并退出。

注意：在复杂的接口中，可能会遇到像这样的同步流的死锁（请参阅文档和也许如何重现 Boost 流程文档提示的死锁？）。

简单测试客户端

我试图让它首先在同步模式下工作。为了好玩，我选择连接两个子进程，一个用于白色，一个用于黑色。我们可以让他们玩一个游戏：

int main() {
    MoveList game;
    Engine   white(game), black(game);

    for (int number = 1;; ++number) {
        game.push_back(white.make_move());
        std::cout << number << ". " << game.back();

        game.push_back(black.make_move());
        std::cout << ", " << game.back() << std::endl;

        if ("(none)" == game.back())
            break;
    }
}

现在我有两个工作实现：

同步实现

尽管可能会导致在全双工 IO 上发生死锁的可能性（如上所示），但代码仍然相对简单：

using MoveList = std::deque<std::string>;

struct Engine {
    Engine(MoveList& game) : _game(game) { init(); }

    std::string make_move()
    {
        std::string best, ponder;

        auto bestmove = [&](std::string_view line) { //
            return qi::parse(line.begin(), line.end(),
                    "bestmove " >> +qi::graph >>
                    -(" ponder " >> +qi::graph) >> qi::eoi,
                    best, ponder);
        };

        bool ok = send(_game) //
            && command("go", bestmove);

        if (!ok)
            throw std::runtime_error("Engine communication failed");

        return best;
    }

  private:
    void init() {
        bool ok = true                                              //
            && expect([](std::string_view banner) { return true; }) //
            && command("uci", "uciok")                              //
            && send("ucinewgame")                                   //
            && command("isready", "readyok");

        if (!ok)
            throw std::runtime_error("Cannot initialize UCI");
    }

    bool command(std::string_view command, auto response, unsigned max_lines = 999) {
        return send(command) && expect(response, max_lines);
    }

    bool send(std::string_view command) {
        debug_out << "Send: " << std::quoted(command) << std::endl;
        _sink << command << std::endl;
        return _sink.good();
    }

    bool send(MoveList const& moves) {
        debug_out << "Send position (" << moves.size() << " moves)" << std::endl;

        _sink << "position startpos";

        if (!moves.empty()) {
            _sink << " moves";
            for (auto const& mv : moves) {
                _sink << " " << mv;
            }
        }
        _sink << std::endl;
        return _sink.good();
    }

    bool expect(std::function<bool(std::string_view)> predicate, unsigned max_lines = 999)
    {
        for (std::string line; getline(_source, line); max_lines--) {
            debug_out << "Echo: " << _source.tellg() << " " << std::quoted(line) << std::endl;
            if (predicate(line)) {
                debug_out << "Ack" << std::endl;
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    bool expect(std::string_view message, unsigned max_lines = 999)
    {
        return expect([=](std::string_view line) { return line == message; },
                      max_lines);
    }

    MoveList&    _game;
    bp::opstream _sink;
    bp::ipstream _source;
    bp::child    _engine{"stockfish", bp::std_in<_sink, bp::std_out>_source};
};

异步实现

为了完整起见，我想我会尝试一个异步实现。使用默认的 Asio 回调样式可能会变得笨拙，因此我想将 Boost Coroutine 用于堆栈式协程。这使得它的实现可以与同步版本有 99% 的相似性：

using MoveList = std::deque<std::string>;
using boost::asio::yield_context;

struct Engine {
    Engine(MoveList& game) : _game(game) { init(); }

    std::string make_move()
    {
        std::string best, ponder;

        boost::asio::spawn([this, &best, &ponder](yield_context yield) {
            auto bestmove = [&](std::string_view line) { //
                return qi::parse(line.begin(), line.end(),
                                 "bestmove " >> +qi::graph >>
                                     -(" ponder " >> +qi::graph) >> qi::eoi,
                                 best, ponder);
            };

            bool ok = send(_game, yield) //
                && command("go", bestmove, yield);

            if (!ok)
                throw std::runtime_error("Engine communication failed");
        });
        run_io();
        return best;
    }

  private:
    void init() {
        boost::asio::spawn([this](yield_context yield) {
            bool ok = true //
                &&
                expect([](std::string_view banner) { return true; }, yield) //
                && command("uci", "uciok", yield)                           //
                && send("ucinewgame", yield)
                && command("isready", "readyok", yield);

            if (!ok)
                throw std::runtime_error("Cannot initialize UCI");
        });
        run_io();
    }

    bool command(std::string_view command, auto response, yield_context yield) {
        return send(command, yield) && expect(response, yield);
    }

    bool send(std::string_view command, yield_context yield) {
        debug_out << "Send: " << std::quoted(command) << std::endl;
        using boost::asio::buffer;
        return async_write(_sink, std::vector{buffer(command), buffer("\n", 1)},
                           yield);
    }

    bool send(MoveList const& moves, yield_context yield) {
        debug_out << "Send position (" << moves.size() << " moves)" << std::endl;

        using boost::asio::buffer;
        std::vector bufs{buffer("position startpos"sv)};

        if (!moves.empty()) {
            bufs.push_back(buffer(" moves"sv));
            for (auto const& mv : moves) {
                bufs.push_back(buffer(" ", 1));
                bufs.push_back(buffer(mv));
            }
        }
        bufs.push_back(buffer("\n", 1));
        return async_write(_sink, bufs, yield);
    }

    bool expect(std::function<bool(std::string_view)> predicate, yield_context yield)
    {
        auto buf = boost::asio::dynamic_buffer(_input);
        while (auto n = async_read_until(_source, buf, "\n", yield)) {
            std::string_view line(_input.data(), n > 0 ? n - 1 : n);
            debug_out << "Echo: " << std::quoted(line) << std::endl;

            bool matched = predicate(line);
            buf.consume(n);

            if (matched) {
                debug_out << "Ack" << std::endl;
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    bool expect(std::string_view message, yield_context yield)
    {
        return expect([=](std::string_view line) { return line == message; },
                      yield);
    }

    void run_io() {
        _io.run();
        _io.reset();
    }

    boost::asio::io_context _io{1};
    bp::async_pipe          _sink{_io}, _source{_io};
    bp::child _engine{"stockfish", bp::std_in<_sink, bp::std_out> _source, _io};

    MoveList& _game;
    std::string _input; // read-ahead buffer
};
